Combined CDK inhibition overcomes MEK inhibitor resistance in plexiform neurofibroma of neurofibromatosis type I

ABSTRACT: MEK1/2 inhibitors (MEKi) have recently achieved surprising success in treating unresectable plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs). However, few studies have investigated the mechanisms of MEKi resistance in PNF patients. We determined the efficacy of 6 different MEKi for treating PNFs, explored drug resistance mechanisms and identified potential combination therapies to overcome resistance. By screening drug efficacy among 6 MEKi in human NF1-deficient PNF cell lines, TAK-733 was found reduce PNF cell viability the most. We then cultured the TAK-733 resistant cells and explored potential targets for further treatment. Both high-throughput drug screening and RNA sequencing analyses of MEKi-resistant PNF cells identified cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKi) as potential agents for PNFs. Dinaciclib, a CDKi, showed synergistic effects on MEKi-resistant cells. Coadministration of dinaciclib and TAK-733 significantly reduced cell viability, inhibited sphere formation and colony formation. Dinaciclib did not affect MEK signaling but decreased the expression of several prosurvival proteins, including survivin and CDK1, to induce apoptosis and inhibit mitosis. TAK-733/dinaciclib combination therapy induced tumor reduction in PNF patient-derived xenografts mouse models. Therefore, the combination of MEKi and CDKi may be promising for treating inoperable PNFs, especially when drug resistance exists. Our findings provide evidence for future clinical trials with MEKi-resistant PNF patients.

Comprehensive evaluation of MEK inhibitors for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors reveals differences in efficacy and drug resistance development

Project description:Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are aggressive soft-tissue sarcomas which lack effective drugs. Previous studies support the usefulness of MEK inhibitors (MEKis) for treating RAS-driven tumors, however, the lack of preclinical assessment of MEK inhibitors in MPNSTs limit the clinical application as well as the development of combination therapy. In this study, we comprehensively evaluated 8 MEK inhibitors in terms of efficiency, safety and mechanisms of resistance for treating MPNSTs. We identified the most promising MEK inhibitor, trametinib, for the treatment of MPNSTs. Through high-throughput transcriptomic sequencing and drug screening, we discovered the upregulation of integrin signaling contributing to MEK inhibitor resistance, termed as cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance (CAM-DR). We also confirmed MET overactivation in MEKi-resistant MPNST cells. These targets are potential solutions to overcome MEKi- resistance in clinical applications.

Multi-omics characterization of MEK inhibitor resistant pancreatic cancer based on a genetically engineered mouse model-derived in vitro system

Project description:Tumor heterogeneity and therapy resistance are hallmarks of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Emerging evidence supports treatment-induced resistance to be a multifactorial process mediated by cellular plasticity involving epigenetic regulation. Here, we used a multi-omics approach to analyze in detail molecular mechanisms underlying MEK inhibitor (MEKi) resistance. Therefore, we characterized different cell stages (parental, MEKi resistant, reverted after different passages of drug withdrawal) in primary cell lines derived from a genetic PDAC mouse model, thereby minimizing inter-individual heterogeneity that could distort genome-wide analyses.

Vulnerability of drug-resistant EML4-ALK rearranged lung cancer to transcriptional inhibition

Project description:A subset of lung adenocarcinomas is driven by the EML4-ALK translocation. Despite excellent initial responses in patients, acquired resistance to ALK inhibitors occurs. Exploring these mechanisms of resistance, we found that EML4-ALK cells resistant to ALK inhibitors are remarkably sensitive to THZ1, alvocidib or dinaciclib. These compounds robustly induce apoptosis through transcriptional inhibition and downregulation of anti-apoptotic genes. In conclusion, this study shows that THZ1, alvocidib or dinaciclib could be a therapeutic option for a subset of patients with acquired resistance to first, second and third-generation ALK inhibitors.

SETD5-coordinated chromatin reprogramming regulates adaptive resistance to targeted pancreatic cancer therapy

Project description:Oncogenic KRAS signaling is a hallmark of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a lethal malignancy with few treatment options. A major roadblock in deploying therapies targeting the KRAS-MAPK pathway is the rapid emergence of resistant cancer cells. However, molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive targeted therapy resistance in PDAC are poorly understood. Here we find SETD5 (SET domain containing 5) as a major epigenetic driver of PDAC resistance to MEK1/2 inhibition (MEKi). SETD5 is identified in a genetic screen of annotated methyltransferases that mediate MEKi toxicity in PDAC cells. SETD5 expression is induced upon PDAC cells and tumors acquring MEKi-resistance and SETD5 deletion restores vulnerability of refractory PDAC to MEKi therapy in mouse models and patient-derived xenografts (PDX). SETD5 lacks intrinsic histone methyltransferase activity and rather scaffolds a distinct corepressor complex that regulates HDAC3 and G9a catalytic behaviors to couple selective deacetylation with methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9). Gene silencing by the SETD5 complex regulates a network of known drug resistance pathways to reprogram cellular responses to MEKi, a resistance program disrupted by G9a and HDAC3 blockade. Combinatorial pharmacological targeting of MEK1/2, G9a, and HDAC3 results in sustained tumor growth inhibition in murine and human models of PDAC. Together, our work uncovers SETD5 as a master epigenetic regulator of acquired MAPK-pathway therapy resistance and suggests an efficacious clinical path for MEKi in PDAC.

Melanoma therapeutic strategies that select against resistance by exploiting MYC-driven evolutionary convergence

Project description:Diverse pathways can drive resistance to BRAF and MEK inhibitors in BRAF mutant melanoma, suggesting that durable control of resistance will be a major challenge. By combining statistical modeling of genomic data from matched pre-treatment and post-relapse patient tumors with functional interrogation, we discovered that major pathways of resistance converge to activate the transcription factor c-MYC (MYC). MYC expression and pathway gene signatures were suppressed following initial drug treatment, then rebounded during tumor progression independent of the upstream pathway driving resistance. Suppression of MYC activity using either genetic approaches or BET bromodomain inhibition was sufficient to both sensitize diverse BRAFi/MEKi-resistant models and delay resistance in treatment naïve models. Although direct pharmacological inhibition of MYC remains difficult, the BRAFi/MEKi-resistant, MYC-activated state harbors “synthetic lethal” signaling and metabolic dependencies, including those involving SRC family and c-KIT tyrosine kinases as well as glucose, glutamine, and serine metabolic pathways, that can be targeted to create combination therapies that uniquely select against resistance evolution.

Comparison of parental and CDKi-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOC) are genomically complex, heterogeneous cancers with a high mortality rate, due to acquired chemoresistance and lack of targeted therapy options. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKi) target the retinoblastoma (RB) signaling network, and have been successfully incorporated into treatment regimens for breast and other cancers. Here, we have compared mechanisms of response and resistance to three CDKi that target either CDK4/6 or CDK2 and abrogate E2F target gene expression. We identify CCNE1 gain and RB1 loss as mechanisms of resistance to CDK4/6 inhibition, whereas receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and RAS signaling is associated with CDK2 inhibitor resistance. Mechanistically, we show that ETS factors are mediators of RTK/RAS signaling that cooperate with E2F in cell cycle progression. Consequently, CDK2 inhibition sensitizes cyclin E1-driven but not RAS-driven ovarian cancer cells to platinum-based chemotherapy. In summary, this study outlines a rational approach for incorporating CDKi into treatment regimens for HGSOC. For parental HEY, two replicates per condition (control=10%, SNS032-treated, PD0332991-treated) were analyzed. For CDKi-resistant cells, two individual subclones derived from single cells were analyzed, except OAW28 sublines (two polyclonal populations per subline), OV90-PD/SNS-R (two polyclonal populations) and OV90-SNS-R-1 (polyclonal population, whereas OV90-SNS-R-2 is derived from a single colony).

Effect of combination treatment with BRAF and MEK inhibitors (BRAFi/MEKi) in BRAFV600E mutant cell lines using RNAseq

Project description:We defined the molecular alterations associated with acquired resistance using combined treatment with BRAFi/MEKi in melanoma cell lines. After the successful establishment of six resistant cell lines, we determined the invasion properties and gene/protein expression differences between sensitive and resistant cells. We observed that the in-vasive potential of three of six resistant cell lines increased significantly compared to sensitive cell lines. We also observed that resistant cells were not drug addicted and did not exhibit significantly increased lethality following the “drug holiday”. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were associated with epithelial-mesenchymal tran-sition (EMT), the reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathway, and KRAS signalling
